Leonora Armellini, winner of the “Janina Nawrocka Award” for the “extraordinary musicality and the beauty of sound” at the International Piano Competition “F. Chopin” of Warsaw (2010), debuts on DVD with an intense and challenging recital wonderfully filmed by Pietro Tagliaferri in Padua, in the sumptuous Palazzo Orsata Lazara Giusti del Giardino.
An accordion, a piano and the music by Astor Piazzolla.
Chopin at the accordion. An outrage? A provocation? None of this when the interpreter is Pietro Roffi who makes the quintessence of the Chopinian waltz with the taste, originality and naturalness that only the first-class performers can offer.
“Est Ovest” is the story of a journey. A short drive in which Pietro Roffi has traveled the few hundred kilometers that separate the east coast and the west coast of Italy, the Adriatic Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea. A journey full of simplicity and surprises, together with a special person.
A short and intense single, promise of new surprises ...

Francisco Tárrega, a great and secluded master, guitarist and composer, is one of the cornerstones of modern guitar literature. This record offers them together in a particularly refined and suggestive program.
